Major Uarka.
During tbo attack upon the city of Mont'
crcy, Gen. Garland brignJo entered the
city, and, lifter a dctjinrntA conflict In the
treoU pushed iti way to n Mexican bntiory
which opened a tremendous cannonade up
on tho column, which lio lost ninny men.
Garland' voice was then hoard ubovo tho
din of battlo, 'Ilotiro in good order."
Mnj. Backus bad lost several men, but
enough had joined liim, from compnnie
broken up during the (!",ht, lo swell bin
command to a huudred or more With
theso lie bad ciwd a strong stone building
near the battery whose fire had been no fatal
to our troop, and mounting tho flat roof he
Instantly determined lo bold hi position.
The remainder of the brigitdo retired from
tho city, tbo guns of tho battery were then
turned upon tbo building, ngiiiimt -which
tbo iron storm thundered, shattering stone
and mortar in all directions.
Backus seized a musket, and taking delib
erate aim, fired into the buttery, and, fiind-
in;! it within reach of his shot, ho ordered
bis command to pour in a rapid and steady
fire. In a few moments he observed the
enemy waver, and then all but the killed and
wounded ran oil' leaving their guns unmann
ed. Ho then turned bis fire on a larg"
force who bad taken post on I lie roof of a
church. A half-dozen rounds sent tliem
tumbling over the sides to tho ground.
Mnj. Hack us then descended from bis post
villi ton men to reennnoiter. After pass
' ing up the street some distance, be turned
to regain bis position, but found himself
cut off by a lurge column of Mexican sol
tilers, w ho were rapidly advancing upon bim.
Here was a dilemma. To retreat wns out
of tbo question. The Mexican army whs
l.ebind him. To stand and fire upon the
enemy was certain death. They ou'iiuin
lie red bim fifty to one, and did not luck
courage in a fusibido. So the gallant Maj.
iiistantly determined to churgo Uietn with
tho bayonet ; and, forming bis men in a line
across the street, with lound shouts they
charged upon tbo full run. The Mexican
column halted, the front files wavered ; on
went tlie ton Yankees, yelling like tiger;
the front files turned about to get behind
the second the third &c. ; but on went the
ten Yankees, their burnished bayonets glit
tering in the sunbeam, resolved to sell tlieir
lives dearly ; on went tho ten Yankees, and
by tbo timo tlh-y got witkin tw enty f.-ctof
the head column, tho whole body was on
keen run as thouifli the d 1 was after
them, and the Maj. regained his post nud
held it until the brigade returned and took
Jiossession of tho butter;', without the los
of a man.
After tho city was taken Maj. Backus
called on "Old Zack,'' in whose regiment he
had long served in Florida. Tho Oen.
nsked him about bis "remaining alone with
liis small forco among the enemy." "The
only fear I had about it," said liackus, "was,
that.jnu would not sustain me in it."
"Sustain you 1" said tho old veteran, and
li's eyes glanced with their wonted fire ; "I
will sustain any man who keeps his face to
wards theenemv." Detroit Free Press.
JtSrThe New Haven Journal thus do
scribes the home of tlia Poet and misan
thrope Percival;-
"There !s a queer looking edifice fronting
on Tark Dace below George street, tho de
sign and object of which would sadly puzzle
tbo inquisitive stranger. It is a stuccoed
house, of onj story, apparently sixteen feet
between the joists, with three long windows
on the front, dead walls ott each side and
lio doorway visible. This queer structure
is the residence of the poet, James G. Per
cival, whoso morbid dream of mortality, or
rather, of the society of his fellow-men, has
been gratified in the style of his mansion.
The entranco is in the rear of the house, ap
proachable by a path which his unfrequent
footsteps has hardly worn in the turf. The
chief object of tho building seems to have
: been to secure a safe place for his valuable
, library, which is arranged in a large library
room occupying the entire front of the build
ing. " The comforts of a home are apparent
ly incidental to the safety of this library j
nd are provided for in more restricted rooms
In tho rear of the house. At this place,
, Mr. Percival, when not employed abroad,
may enjoy all the solitude of a recluse, and,
abut up with his cherished books, forget the
world which so much regrets his own seclu
sion from it."

Rain. From the reports made to tho
Smithsonian Institution, it appears that du
ring the month of Juno lust, tho quantity of
rain which fell varied in different sections of

To tsenpe from Houses tin Fire.
Mr. JJraidwood, Superintendent of the London
Fire brigade, has published the following judicious
directions to guide persons in escaping from houses
on fire :
1. Be careful to acquaint yourself with tlie b; it
.
means of exit from tho house bothat the top audi
Ihe bottom.
o n.. .i.. c. .1, i, i,.r, .... If
in bed at the time, wrap yourself iu n blanket or
bed-side carpet ; open no more doors or windows
than are absolutely necessary, and shut every door
after you.
3. There are always from eight lo twelve inches
of pure air close to Ihe ground. If you cannot,
therefore, walk upright through the smoke, drop on
your hands and knees, and thus progress. A wet
ted silk handkeicheif, a piece of flannel, or a worst
ed stocking drawn over the face, permits breath
ing, and to a great extent excludes the smoke.
4. If you can neither make your way upward or
downward, get into a front room ; if there is a fam
ily see that they are all collected there, and keep
the door closed as much as possible, fur remember
that smoke always follcwia draft, and fire always
reaches after smoke.
5. On no account throw yourself, or allow others
to Uirow themselves from the window. If no assist
ance is at hand, aud you are in extiemity, tie the
sheets together and having fastened one end loeome
P,eve cf ". down Ihe women ami I

that is over ihn area. Tou can easily Ut yonrailf

If a woman's clotbea catch fire, let her ia-
present let him throw her down and do

the like, and then wrap her in a rug. coat, or the
lint wt? ,!es thing that is f. hi.nd.

Mr. Editor I li.reby announce, through the
columns of your vu'ub papi-r, that I united Vi
SwiioM and Tsvnikna IUvahd in the bands of
matrimony, on the UUlli day of August lint. Af
ter furinj sumptuously on the r'ch and phasaut vi
ands, prrpurcd for tlie occasion, the company, on
tho next morning, retiieJ to the residence of Sam
uel Simmons, father of William Simmon. After
various pleasant Interview and reciprocal conver
sations, and feasting now and then upon the lus
cious pear, the esculent apple, the soft-meated and
sweet-flavored mnskmeiun and watermelon, and
occasionally strolling with a sort of poetio ecttacy
and epieurcau license through his wellcultivated Ac
richly freighted trei.e, and inhaling the spicy odors
emanating from their frugiferous labratory, dinner
was announced as being reudy. To the table then
we all prt pared, spread with a superabundance of
the choicest productions of the culinary skill. To
ornament and heighten the edible scenery, a basket
of mellow juiey peaches was passed around to all
aud a dish at each end of the table was visibly en-
aconccd, loaded with a variety of applea some of
ruddy features, others of a rosy blush, some of a
florid costume, others approaching a chalk-white-
mei. During the whole euterUiiuiuent there was
none of that rhodomoutude, or empty bluster and
rant so usuul on audi occasions, with tlie rifT-raft
llio nibble of ignoble and inglorious memory so
baneful to society ; but on the contrary the most
cheerful hilarity, chaste and hightnned jocularity
regaled the feelings of the company during the en
tire repast. A fine cuke and several specimens of
fine apples were reserved for your special benefit,
which have, doubtless, reuelud you ere this time.
I would feel happy in more frequently witnessing
such chaste, urbane, liightoned, convivial iufair en
tertainments and sociabilities in Oregon : it would
apeak well for its urbanity and chaste etiquette.
Yours truly, &c.
